estimate the total primary production in the oceans (in million metric tons carbon) using the following information - 92% of oceans are open ocen with an average productivity of 125 gC/m2/yr - 8% of the oceans are coastal, with an average productivity of 2,000 gC/m2/yr - remember a metric ton is 1,000 Kg
http://www.fao.org/nr/water/aquastat/data/query/index.html?lang=en. Step 1. Choose five nations (including the United States) from the enormous database by clicking the corresponding boxes. For "select variables", choose these three: 1. Under "Water Resources" choose "Total Renewable Water Resources" and within that choose only "Total Renewable Water Resources per Capita. 2. Choose "Water Use" and then "Pressure on Water Resources" . Within that subset choose only"SDG 6.4.2 Water Stress". "SDG" means the Sustainable Development Goal. This value is the percentage of total available water that is used by a nation. 3. Under "Water Use" choose "Water Withdrawal by Sector", and within that choose only "Total Water Withdrawal per Capita". Nation Resources per Capita Withdrawal per Capita % Water Stress: withdrawal vs. resources) Step 2. Based…

The shape of an ecological pyramid, with each successive layer being smaller than the one below it, can be explained most readily by:a. the first law of thermodynamicsb. inefficient geochemical cyclesc. the second law of thermodynamicsd. industrialization
Create a bar graph that ranks the given ecosystems from least productive to most productive. Title your graph, label each axis, label each bar, and provide units of measurement. Use the data in the table below showing net primary productivity of major ecosystems of the world: Ecosystem Net Primary Productivity (kcal/m2/yr) coniferous forests 3,500 deciduous forests 6,000 deserts 500 estuaries 9,000 freshwater ecosystems 2,000 grasslands 2,500 oceans 1,000 swamps 9,000 tropical rain forests 9,000 tundra 750
You will be examining the relationship among organisms inhabiting a small lake. Examine the “Lake Inhabitants” sheet for information about the organisms found in the lake. What biotic and abiotic factors will affect the aquatic plants in the lake? What biotic and abiotic factors will affect the bluegill in the lake? Looking at the organisms associated with the lake, organize them into three trophic groups: producers, consumers, and decomposers. Separate the consumers into three subcategories: herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores. Create 3 different food chains found within the lake. Food chain #1 should contain 3 organisms, food chain #2 should contain 4 organisms, and food chain # 3 should contain 5 organisms. The arrows should point in the direction the energy is flowing through the food chain. You can either use the “>” as your arrow or the Insert Symbol function to insert an arrow into your food chains. As the energy flows through each trophic…

An estimated 1000 kg of plant plankton are needed to produce 100 kg of animal plankton. The animal plankton is in turned consumed by 10 kg of fish, the amount needed by a person to gain 1 kg of body mass. i) explain why the amount of biomass declines at each successive trophic level.
Which trophic level is vital to the continuation of the carbon cycle? Group of answer choices a. tertiary consumer b. secondary consumer c. producer d. primary consumer
You are approached by a community group concerned about the potential biomagnification of an organic compound that has a log Kow of 5.7 yet is metabolized very slowly in organisms. The compound is seeping from ground water into a lake that the public uses for fishing. Does it have the potential to biomagnify? Describe the approach you would use to determine if biomagnification was occurring and to quantify the possible biomagnification in the lake.
Submit your project researching an ecosystem you would find in your state. You may submit a poster, presentation, link to your created website, or other document. Be sure to include the following: • Describe at least ten biotic factors found in the ecosystem and at least ten abiotic factors. • Give at least two examples of food chains that could be found in the ecosystem.
Need help with questions 1,2 and 3 please: 1.) Which of the following statements about environmental resistance is not correct? A.) It is the effect of various factors that influence the growth of a population in an area B.) It includes biotic (density dependent) and abiotic (density independent) factors C.) It allows a population to grow at its biotic potential: D.) It determines the carrying capacity of the habitat concerned . 2.) Identify the statement about per capita growth rate that is not correct. A.) It does not depend on the period for which the population is under consideration. B.) It is used to compare populations of the same species but of different sizes. C.) It is independent of the initial size of population under study. D.) The change in population size can be expressed as the rate of change per individual in terms capita growth rate. 3.) Biotic potential is the highest possible per capita growth rate for a population. Which of the following would limit…
